Little house series6/30/2023 ![]() It's a very practical way for kids to practice hand sewing as well. Gather up all the clothes you are ready to throw out and some scraps from your past sewing projects to sew together this easy quilt project. Press it into a pretty mold (or use a cookie cutter) to shape the butter into patties for storage and the table. Ma Ingalls grated carrot into her butter for coloring. It's very easy to do with either fresh cream or store bough "heavy" cream. Why is it that as soon as I think about doing things the "old fashioned" way, I immediately want to make butter. For kids, a book like "Farm Anatomy" is a good resource for meat and more. Doing a small beef jerky or meat preservation project might be a great hands-on way to teach about life long ago. The very first chapter of "The Little House in the Big Woods" talks about how the Ingalls family prepares for winter by smoking meat. In my search, I found a blog and podcast called "Pioneering Today." She has a post about salting, fermenting, and other ways to preserve meat. ![]()
